    The crucifixion is not 'a red herring'. It's the cross-hair of scripture! Since you accept the crucifixion as historical, you might like to explain Psalm 22.

    Daniel saw a vision of God's unfolding plan. This was a vision intended for lsrael. Daniel 9:24. 'Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting...

    The Hebrew scriptures are written for Israel. The Church Age remains hidden in scripture. When the Church Age comes to an end, at the Rapture, then the final week of the covenant with Israel will begin. Have you never wondered why the temple in Jerusalem has not been rebuilt? Is the diaspora...

    Few people would argue that Jesus was not crucified while Pontius Pilate was governor in Judea. It takes more than a bit of knowledge of Hebrew scripture to write the NT. Jews had no idea what was about to unfold! As Jesus was dying, he quoted the opening line of Psalm 22. How could a disciple...

    Luke 1:31. 'And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever...

    I'm not disputing the association between the donkey and humility, I'm simply applying it to the two appearances of Christ. For Torah Jews, Christ has not yet come. This shows that their understanding of this scripture is misplaced. When Christ returns, he will not come 'lowly', or upon an ***!

    There can only be one Messiah, or Christ. This is because there is only one God. God only has one 'right hand', and He can decide whether to bring mercy or judgement (or both) with his right hand [Psalm 138:7]. Psalm 110:1 makes it clear that the mediator between David and the LORD is the one...

    Funny that: 'And I saw the heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.' Revelation 19:11.

    The problem with your challenge is that it fails to acknowledge that the Suffering Servant must precede the advent of the King. 'My servant David' is a prince amongst his people [Ezekiel 34:24] before being their King [Ezekiel 37:22]. And to deny that there is a Suffering Servant contradicts a...

    Why should l listen to an avowed atheist, whom God regards as a fool [Psalms 14, 53]? IMO, you have set yourself up in opposition to God, and to his Christ. It follows that you must have a very high opinion of yourself and your intellect.

    You say, 'Jesus would need to be chosen by the LORD to be ruler and he wasn't'. As l see it, John the Baptist was sent as the forerunner to the Messiah and his prophetic mission was accepted by the people. John pointed to Jesus, and witnessed his baptism in the Holy Spirit. This was not men...

    Well, if you don't believe that the Torah, Prophets and Writings are inerrant, then your God is not omnipotent. It seems odd to me that Moses should command that not a word be added to, or subtracted from, his prophecies if they were not inerrant. John says the same thing in the book of...

    There is no suggestion that using a 'new cart' to take the word of God to Jerusalem means that the Law is jettisoned. The Law remains inside the ark, untouched. It's the figure of David that arouses Michal's disgust. In 2 Samuel 6:20-23, we get David returning to bless his household. Who are...

    Zerubbabel was chosen by God (as the 'signet') to replace 'Coniah', Haggai 2:23. However, Zerubbabel does not reign in Judah. He is described as a 'governor' [Haggai 2:21]. Salathiel and Zerubbabel appear in both Matthew and Luke's genealogies. Then there is a further divergence. Matthew...

    That's a slippery answer. Do you believe that all of the Tanakh is inspired by God?

    If you really believe that, then you must also claim to know the mind of God. Or, do you not believe that the Tanakh is the revealed word of God?

    No, you've got this wrong. The royal line is Joseph's line, as recorded in Matthew. I have demonstrated the evidence in support of this belief. Few scholars would argue otherwise. The problem that exists with Joseph's line comes with the exile in Babylon. Jeconiah was cursed, and God states...

    And how was the Bible 'supposed' to have been interpreted? I suggest we look to the Holy Spirit for the answer!

    If the scriptures were in existence in the Church before the Jewish Wars, as l believe they were, then the writers would have been alive and known in the Church at Jerusalem. Hence, tradition attaches the names of the writers to the writings. These same traditions allow the name of Moses to be...

    If one begins by dating the Gospels correctly, then the unbroken witness and testimony must have been in existence at the time the written records were circulated.
